Plz Submit Current Affairs MCQs here
Aslam o Alaikum everyone
I was looking at current affairs old papers and noted that compulsory first question of mcqs has become a standard since 2005. It accounts for 20 marks, i.e. one mark/mcq, and most definitely, score of the paper relies heavily on it. I tried to seek any post regarding MCQs on the forum, but in vain (or atleast it wasnt there in front lines). Maybe thats because most aspirants, or maybe even seniors:wait, think that MCQs appear in random and therefore one need to rely heavily on luck for this question (if u are extremely lucky, u can score 20 in first question alone:wub:). Maybe that is absolutely right, but the phrase "God helps those who help themselves" kept echoing in my mind, so I decided to start a new thread, wherein [B]I request all visitors to post something they think is capable of being an MCQ[/B]. It maybe just one line factoid to countless lines of facts & figures, but contributing regularly will make it a worthwhile collection. To give it a start, I have typed all MCQs that have appeared in past CSS papers (though they appeared in only few papers before 2005). I searched the correct answers and have highlighted and underlined them. I have placed comments wherever I wasnt sure of the correct answer. Here it goes: [B]1988[/B] 1.[FONT="] [/FONT]1988 noble peace prize has been awarded to: a.[FONT="] [/FONT]Diego Cordovez b.[FONT="] [/FONT]Anwar Sadat [B]c.[FONT="] [/FONT][/B][B][U]United Nations[/U][/B] 2.[FONT="] [/FONT]Dan Quayle is: a.[FONT="] [/FONT]Mexican footballer [B]b.[FONT="] [/FONT][/B][B][U]American Politician[/U][/B] c.[FONT="] [/FONT]Prime Minister of Brazil 3.[FONT="] [/FONT]Gen.
